[Blowd]

Background: I've decided to put a blower on the convertible which has pwr steering and A/C. Have a BDS setup with BDS low profile manifold which I really like. I live in Texas so I also like a cool breeze in my face when I'm cruising. This requires running the A/C when the top's down.

The Problem: Snaking the upper radiator hose around the alternator. I think I've tried about every combination of factory brackets and alternator locations on my mockup motor. I really don't want to do anything too bizarre bracket wise, I also don't want the alternator sticking through the hood.


The Thought: Looking at my S10 parts chaser, I'm thinking if I mount a remote resevoir style power steering pump, I can easily move the alternator over enough to gain the clearance I need. What I 've got to do now is find a pump that wil accpt a v groove pulley (non metric) and possibly even bolt up to the original brackets.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this done so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. (I don't get out much you know ). So don't feel like your going to embarass me pointing out that someone sells this over the counter.
